What does your Knee Pain indicate?

The Knee Joint

The knee is the largest bone joint in the body that allows you to run, walk, stand, sit, bend your legs, pivot, swivel and more. The knee joint consists of bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all working together. Three bones – the tibia (shinbone), the femur (thighbone) and the patella (kneecap) come together at the knee joint.

Knee Pain

Knee injuries are complicated because they can be the result of damage or injury to any of the several parts that make up the knee. It is also important to understand that the knee functions between two very mobile joints – the hip and the foot. Injury to the hip or foot can also affect the mobility of the knee.

With age, the strain on our knees increases and pain and discomfort become common complaints. However, the pain may also result from injury or an underlying condition, apart from aging. An experienced orthopedic doctor or surgeon can make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of knee pain and treat it.

Depending on its location, different problems can be responsible for knee pain.

Front of the knee – related to kneecap injury or damage

Inside or medial side of knee – related to medial meniscus tears, MCL injuries, and arthritis

Outside or lateral side of knee – often caused by lateral meniscus tears, LCL injuries, IT band tendonitis, and arthritis

Back of knee – due to the collection of fluid, also referred to as a Baker’s Cyst

Testimonials

I had a significant shoulder injury and after Dr. Dewanjee performed my surgery, i was back to work in minimal time. His intelligence along with his experience and knowledge to correctly repair my injury was paramount.

If you have a shoulder or knee injury, I would recommend Dr. Dewanjee at FXRX more highly than any other doctor.

Thank you Dr. Dewanjee!

"During my Freshman year of college I dislocated my shoulder during a basketball game. After being referred to Dr. Sumit Dewanjee I wouldn't ask for a better doctor. He listens to his patients with depth that insures security. He performed surgery on my shoulder. During my visits to his office, Dr. Dewanjee and his staff were very customer oriented and organized. Within six months I was playing basketball again. I would definitely recommend Dr. Dewanjee."

I could not be more pleased with this practice!! I brought my 4 year old son in with a broken arm and was given exceptional same day service. The entire staff was so kind, understanding, attentive, and professional.

The office manager Lindy is a dream! Dr. Dewanjee is fantastic! I have brought my son in for two unrelated incidents and he has treated him so kindly. My dad sees Dr. Dewanjee as well and is so impressed. He is truly a 5 Star Doctor and I am so appreciative to he and his staff.

If you are planning to have orthopedic surgery Please do yourself a favor and call
Dr. Dewanjee's office. I interviewed four doctors and found what we believe is the best surgeon for our son's surgery. When calling in ask for Lindey (sp) she is the best in the front office. She will walk you through the whole scheduling to getting you that consult with Dr. Sumit Dewanjee.

His beside manners are professional but easy, he made you feel that his full attention and expertise was given before, during and after the surgery.
Please do yourself a favor and just call to get that consult and see how calming Dr. Dewanjee is on a very stressful operation.
Thank you so much for doing what we believe is a top notch job!

I am grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate surgeon. For years I feared the two total knee joint replacement surgeries I needed, thus I put them off for as long as possible.

Dr. Dewanjee was professional, kind, and reassuring. And I now walk with a straight leg that bends at the knee like it should.

I'd like to thank Dr. Dewanjee for his surgical expertise, kindness, and compassionate care. Please know that I think so highly of Dr. Dewangee that I refer many friends to him and even strangers I have met with knee problems.

Dr. Dewanjee has a gift as a surgeon and I am blessed to have benefited from his expertise. I'm now looking forward to my right knee replacement with Dr. Dewanjee as it will only enrich my quality of life."

"I have known Dr. Dewanjee for 3 years and am thankful for his surgical abilities. My first encounter was his operating on my broken hip followed by right and left knee replacements.

My successful surgeries have given me the ability to comfortably do what I love; swimming for an hour daily. I am able at 85 years old to live alone in my own home and take care of myself.

I would highly recommend Dr. Dewanjee because of his skill and compassion."
